Throwback Thursday – Through the Lens: Amy Lee’s Iconic Photoshoots

From the piano-driven introspection of “Fallen” (2003) to the orchestral grandeur of “Synthesis*”(2017), Amy Lee has used visuals as a powerful extension of her music. In this article, we revisit four landmark photoshoots—each one capturing a different chapter of her artistic evolution. For this throwback Thursday we explore some of Amy Lee’s most iconic photoshoots.

1. Fallen Era Promo Shoots

Why It Matters:
When Evanescence was still refining their sound, this black-and-white studio session set the visual tone for Fallen. Photographers focused on stark lighting to highlight Amy’s duality—vulnerability and strength—mirroring the album’s themes.

2. The Open Door Era Shoots

Why It Matters:
By fall 2006, Evanescence was preparing to release their sophomore album, The Open Door. The promotional imagery shifted from raw monochrome to deeper color palettes—crimson accents, derelict Victorian backdrops—reflecting Amy’s gothic storytelling and the album’s more orchestral direction.

3. Self-Titled Album Era Shoots

Why It Matters:
After a five-year hiatus, Evanescence returned with their self-titled third album. For this campaign, Amy Lee teamed up with fashion photographers to produce modern, high-contrast images—bold makeup, architectural backdrops—that signaled a mature, more experimental sonic palette.

4. Synthesis Orchestral Era Shoots

Why It Matters:
When Evanescence recorded Synthesis—an orchestral reimagining of earlier songs—Amy Lee embraced a classical aesthetic. Photographers shot her at the Omaha Civic Center, surrounded by the dark wood paneling and symphony lighting, to capture that fusion of rock voice and orchestral power.

Flashback: Amy Lee in Kerrang! 14 June 2003

Flashback: Amy Lee in Kerrang! 14 June 2003

For this weeks throwback we visit June  14, 2003, When Kerrang! ran an in‑depth feature on Amy Lee—then just 21—fresh off the seismic success of Evanescence’s debut album Fallen. Shot at London’s Metropolitan Hotel on June 5, the spread opens with a striking portrait and Lee’s own words: “People hear our music and want to do things for us. They have a passion for it.”

Amy and co‑founder Ben Moody both hail from Little Rock, Arkansas—a state of barely a million people with no prior tradition of chart‑topping rock acts. Kerrang! leans into that contrast with a tongue‑in‑cheek rundown of odd Arkansas laws (no car‑horn tooting after 9 PM, sandwich‑shop fines for female teachers with bobs, etc.), underscoring how removed they once were from the world’s spotlight.

By spring 2003, Fallen had already climbed to #3 on the UK Indie chart and #4 on the US Billboard chart, with over 100,000 copies sold in the UK and more than a million in the US. It was “Bring Me To Life” that truly broke the band—Wind‑Up Records convinced conservative FM stations to play it “in the middle of the night,” MTV picked up the lavish video, and listeners flooded radio lines “for the next half hour” demanding to know who these newcomers were.

The interview offers glimpses of the June 2003 lineup—Amy on vocals and keyboards, Ben Moody and John LeCompt on guitars, Rocky Gray on drums, and Will Boyd on bass—and highlights the creative spark between Lee’s focused precision and Moody’s playful wit. Lee appears “paralysingly thin” in a red Mickey Mouse sweatshirt, her skin described as the “colour of coffee‑notepaper,” yet her intensity and sincerity shine through every answer.

Looking back from 2025, it’s remarkable to see how Amy’s early intentions played out. Fallen went multi‑platinum, sold‑out tours followed, and Evanescence’s sound evolved—but that core commitment to honesty and artistry, first captured in Kerrang!’s June  2003 issue, has never wavered. For long‑time fans, revisiting this feature is more than nostalgia; it’s a reminder of why we fell in love with Amy Lee’s voice—and why we still do, two decades later.

Throwback Thursday: The Haunting Beauty of Amy Lee’s “Speak to Me”

Throwback Thursday: The Haunting Beauty of Amy Lee’s “Speak to Me”

Released on March 17, 2017, “Speak to Me” is a hauntingly evocative ballad by Amy Lee, composed for the soundtrack of the psychological thriller Voice from the Stone. Directed by Eric D. Howell and starring Emilia Clarke, the film tells the story of a nurse named Verena who cares for a mute boy who believes he can hear his deceased mother’s voice.

The music video for “Speak to Me” was also directed by Howell and filmed at the Castle of Celsa estate near Siena, Italy—the same location used for the film. The visuals mirror the eerie, haunting atmosphere of Voice from the Stone, with Amy wandering through the desolate, castle-like setting, representing the lingering presence of the deceased mother.

Amy Lee collaborated with the film’s score composer, Michael Wandmacher, and Howell to craft the song, infusing it with personal emotion drawn from her own experiences as a new mother. Although the video features a young boy, it is not Amy’s son, Jack Lion Hartzler, but the director’s son.
